Themes
Two free themes, both on WordPress.org.
One for a news site, one for a writer. Both know what Owldraft Publisher is, so the member pages come out looking like the rest of the site.
-
Stoat
A news and magazine theme. Free on WordPress.org.
-
Rural Blog
A single-column theme for writers and photographers. Free on WordPress.org.
Stoat
A news and magazine theme: archive layouts that can feature the lead story or not, light and dark header skins, a reading width that the archive and footer both read from, and a social menu that renders icons. Every choice is a Customizer control with a live preview — no page builder and no second settings screen.

Rural Blog
A quieter theme, for one person writing. Four demo layouts, from a photo journal to a plain typewriter page, and the same Customizer-first approach as Stoat.

The themes are free. The money part is not.
Both themes work on their own. Add Owldraft Publisher when you want paying members and a newsletter to go with them.
